Horse and Nature Retreats and Workshops
Equine-Facilitated Retreats at True Nature Integrative Health
Reconnect with yourself and the natural world through our Equine-Facilitated Retreats at True Nature Integrative Health. These immersive experiences blend the wisdom of horses with somatic healing, mindfulness, and nature-based practices to support deep restoration and self-discovery.
Guided by experienced facilitators, participants will engage in equine connection practices—not as training or groundwork, but as an attuned, relational experience with the horse as a sentient partner. Through somatic awareness exercises, guided meditations, breathwork, movement, and Qigong, we invite participants to explore embodied presence, nervous system regulation, and the wisdom of the body. Qigong, an ancient Chinese healing art, cultivates internal balance and vitality through breath, movement, and intention. When practiced in the presence of horses, it deepens our ability to attune to their subtle energy and engage in a shared field of connection. Additional offerings may include nature walks, creative expression, and group reflection.
At True Nature, we are committed to creating a space that is welcoming, inclusive, and culturally attuned. We honor diverse ways of healing and expression, ensuring that all bodies, identities, and lived experiences feel seen and valued in this work. These retreats are designed for those seeking renewal, whether for personal healing, professional growth, or a deeper relationship with horses and the land. No prior horse experience is necessary—just an openness to listen, feel, and be present. Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, connected, and whole
